So if WM6.1 goes official on April 1st, then what does that mean for all the "official" ROMs that are currently available?
The latest images of WM6.1 on http://www.boygeniusreport.com/ shows a kinda slick interface that isn't part of any of the ROMs here. At the same time does anyone know if HTC is going to release a true 6.1 ROM for the Kaiser?
I really liked to cooked ROMs but inquiring minds want to know!

That "slick" interface, is for WM6.1 Standard...aka non-touchscreen SmartPhone.
1 april foolsday don't forget
OK, so it's not for touch-screen. But the basic question still remains - what does an Official WM6.1 mean for the claimed "official" ROM's here?
I really like the cooked ROMs but have had mixed results with all of them. Some have great features, some are really fast, but none of them have been reliably stable. I live and die by email and phone calls, so regardless of what is in a ROM if it is not stable then it's usefullness is limited to me.
I understand that all the current Kaiser WM6.1 ROMS are builds from other devices, just ported over. So will a true Kaiser WM6.1 bring cooked ROMs with better stability and cool features?

So Guys and Gals,
Which ROM is the best to use?
I'm resurrecting my Universal (after using a HTC TyTN II (Kaiser) with work and direct push)... BTW the ROM on the 18th November 2007 shipped product is 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2).
Which is the most stable and which will closely resemble the ROM I used on the HTC TyTN II (Kaiser)?
The difference between using this and the universal was scary, size aside, the performance is slick the HTC interface is great to use and the unit was shipped with everything you need, good quality case, extra stylus, 2 USB cables, software for backup (sprite), business card snapper, word commander, copilot for GPS etc.
OK so it's GPS and HSDPA in the box, but that aside the package is just soo much better than the crap QTEK/IMATE/O2 offered.
I think it might be Windows mobile 6 time for most as this looks worth a closer look... Anyway, so what's the best rom to use on the universal? I reckon it's worth another go if I can get the software sorted.
Thanks in advance for your advice...
At the risk of sounding thoughtless, I'll recommend that you take back your question as it's been asked hundreds of times. Everyone will have their own favorite, and they will all be different. Best advice would be to read the individual threads pertaining to each rom and see what people are saying and just try a few out.
Good luck and happy hunting.
Go through the forums, try whatever ROM you feel has received good enough feedback! Beasty and Leo released their WM6 Business Edition and the Full Flavour is expected soon. Mo3ulla's WM6 is pretty neat too, no extras at all! Lt Cdr Ivan, Jason and Thingonaspring also have ROMs! Happy browsing!
Hi there,
Our Vietnamese cousins cook one of the best ROMs too. Check out ROMs cooked by N. N. Coung and PDAViet. Here is a link to one of them:

KOR!
I knew i missed out some names i've used nncuong's ROM for quite some time!! nice stuff!
i use jwright's rom.
it's the best for me as of this moment
another vote for jwright's newest rom, even though I haven't tried the new release from beasty&leo, with the mms fix it will be the best imho.
now if only we could find a way to enable videocall
Looking for some advice here... The wiki is down, at least for me. I haven't been able to access it for the last two days.
I would like to finally update the ROM on my Tilt, and need some advice on the ROM options. Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19700 seems popular... What other options are there?
Here's some parameters. I am on the original AT&T 1.57.502.2 with the 1.27.12.11 radio (no bloatware). I'd like to find a ROM that's fast, stable, support's AT&T Tilt (US) keyboard layout, includes AT&T's standard network settings, and as much of my "core" software as possible. My "essential software" includes HTC Diamond keyboard set, HTC Album, HTC Home, S2U2, MS Live Search, Calc 1 Lite (from Dutty), Touch dialer, updated Nadavi HTC Camera (5.0.4.2915), OneNote mobile (from Dutty), Opera mini 4 beta (waiting for my Skyfire beta invite...), the M&M Marshall WaitCursor, and my favorite black glossy skin.
I understand this is an open-ended question... just looking for some educated opinions. Maybe the Wiki has good info, but as I said, it's down. Maybe a sticky with a summary listing is in order?
I went with Dutty's because it's tried, true, fast (based on benchmark) and also, probably most importantly, it's so popular that if you have issues then there is a vast array of folks who probably had it before and either has a solution or you know 'that's not fixed yet' so don't waste your time fiddling with it.
My only regret is that I went with the "cubed" version instead of the "non-cubed" as I like some of the other cubes out there...I would suggest going with the non-cubed so if you ever go with any of the cube UIs you can select your own.
You can overwrite the Cube on Dutty's but it's still sitting in the memory area wasting space even when it's not in use.

Honestly, if you've waited this long, I would wait until the official HTC release comes out this month, as there are bound to be new builds all around. Once would hope the latest release would have the most fixes built in and be the most stable.
Of course, the release may be a hoax...but I would spend two more weeks researching and then if there isn't an official release, at least you will be better informed to use what's out there.
Best Cube UI

Thanks. That makes sense... There also seems to be a new AT&T ROM this week ([05/11/2008] ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio) and no cooked updates on top of that
Ummmmm...there are several cooked version of that specific ROM you are looking for!!!!
Shogun Mark's Version
RynCPpr Version
L2 Version

Not sure what you are looking for...WM 6.1 is the next WM release coming up, thus the "leaks".
Are you hopeful for a WM7 leak?
You're only seeing at&t 6.1 releases because the 6.1 roms are only coming from our insider at at&t development. HTC, Orange, etc are not releasing any "test" roms like at&t. HTC is claiming they will be releasing a full official wm6.1 soon. None of the roms thus far from at&t have been full "releases."
Before you guys flame me, i've already read a lot about the different roms, and i'm not coming asking for rom help.... I recently purchased an unlocked tilt with a custom rom already installed. I believe it is this rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347879 I am going to change that rom and upgrade it to a much newer, and battery saving rom. When i was searching i came across this rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544&highlight=extend+battery+life
I also came across this rom....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388947 Which rom in your opinion has better battery use, and is more stable?? If you dont think one of these are the best rom, which one would you suggest?? and finally, what rom are you using??
Thanks

no one can tell what's best for you. try out some different roms, that's the best way to tell whats best for you.
cant really suggest what u should use because its all based on personal prefs...i cant tell u which girl to go after as your wife or which house to buy or which car to buy...u have to test and see which one fits u most...and i'm using the L26 rom in my sigature
Nearly all of the ROMs posted here in the last two months are based on early leaked (unofficial) WM 6.1 builds. They are unofficial because they are still being debugged by HTC and the carriers. HTC is going to release an official 6.1 any day now and an at&t version is expected to follow shortly. Custom ROMs based on the official releases will be available within days of the official releases.
The last two unoficial at&t builds, 19209, 19213 (and all custom ROMS based on these builds) contain noticeable graphics performance improvements. The official releases will also have this improvement.
You could try one of the recent ROMS based on these builds now but you will want to move to something "official - based" once available, assuming you want to upgrade to WM 6.1
I've flashed half a dozen (or so) ROMs over the last two months but am currently on the stock at&t 19213.
Warning...this can be habit forming...
Enjoy!

Half right ! Microsoft has officially released WM 6.1 it is not " leaked. "
That is what 6.1 cooked roms are based on. Some carriers have already included it in roms for new phones and as updates.
It is rumored that a new rom with 6.1 will be available for the TyTn by the end of the month. The HTC rumor is that they will not upgrade the Tilt anytime soon, but other rumors say they will. Believe what you will
Microsoft oficially released WM 6.1 to manufacturers. Manufacturers must add another layer of software to integrate the OS to the hardware.Manufaturers also customize carrier specific models (i.e at&t Tilt) to an additional set of specifications that are ordered by the carrier. And so it goes...
See the link for a rom that is rumored to be an HTC official release for TyTn II. The rom is dated 5/2/08.

6.5 isn't available for download on any American phones yet, nor has the Fuze been definitely listed as a phone that will be getting the upgrade. Go to Raphael Rom Development for a wide variety of custom 6.5 roms in the mean time.
They are all better than any M$ 6.5 rom anyway.
